Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have captured the most comprehensive picture ever assembled of the evolving Universe — and one of the most colourful. The study is called the Ultraviolet Coverage of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UVUDF) project. I see London, I see France, I see my new desktop wallpaper

Google revealed today that it has added a new Safer Email section to its Transparency Report in order to document the percentage of outbound and incoming Gmail messages that are encrypted. Some email providers *don't* use TLS?

Looking at the actual report[^]; the main standout is ComCrap's and me.com (crApple)'s <1% values. Hotmail and mail.ru are both in the 50-90% bucket; although only one of those is likely to be a problem for most of the world. Ed10.net and constantcontact are both marketingspam delivery companies; and a much lower level of concern since they're blasting the same garbage to thousands if not millions of people.
Also, if you zoom out the graphs to show data from the start of the year, encryption rates have improved significantly.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The FBI, UK's National Crime Agency and Europol hope to squash the insidious Gameover Zeus botnet to bits under a joint project called Operation Tovar. According to US Deputy Attorney General Cole, the three agencies (with help from various security firms) have successfully disabled not only the botnet itself, but also associated malware Cryptolocker. One down, far too many remain

There are plenty of things we bake: cupcakes, pies, cakes, brownies, bread and doughnuts, for example. And, there are certain things we DON’T bake: among, them robots. That is, until now.
To be clear, we aren’t talking about baking a cake in the shape of a robot. Researchers at MIT are working on new technology and materials that enable printable robotic components to self-assemble when heated. I wonder if they will still be edible...

Today, we are making available a first community technology preview of the next version of Visual Studio, codenamed Visual Studio “14”. This early build is focused on enabling feedback and testing from the Visual Studio community. Visual Studio "14" will most likely be available sometime in 2015, with a more complete preview release and final naming available later this year. Be the first on your block!

Just seems a lot of hassle having to install new versions every year, especially when some libraries out there don't support newer versions until ~6 months after the new VS is installed.

OK, I was thinking more the cost if you're not an MSDN subscriber. They seem to be charging the same amount yearly that they were previously charging two-yearly.
Anyway, seems everyone has copied Google Chrome's rapid release policy in some fashion, often without much thought.

The biggest headache for me involves bean counters, an unwillingness to buy a resharper subscription, and the resultant pressure to stick to older versions of VS.

Will this replace the version of .net on my PC with some dodgy pre-release version making Visual Studio 2013 unstable like the last 9 versions of .net, or have they actually figured out how to get it to into a different folder now?
